Growing up we spent a lot of time driving a rowboat with a trolling motor and then a 5 hp Johnson. My nephew is 4 and my brother has been thinking about the right boat to start getting him going with. We bounced ideas and suggestions back and forth until we settled on a Tuggy the Tugboat sandbox. A little foam around the outside for stability. Drill a couple holes to attach the battery box and seal those to keep it dry.
Let's see what the rest of you are using.

Have you thought about adding ballast? You'll get a real nice Surf wake. Side note- my boat boat as a kid was our Row boat with the 5hp engine as well. That engine died so we stuck a 8hp on it.....that thing flew back in the day.

My suggestion was to put on our old 18 evenrude and see what it can do. Pretty sure it could pull a boarder up, not so sure what we would mount the rope to? The tower looking thing on the front is definitely not strong enough.
